Episode Notes
In this episode, we explore how Steffi Graf’s historic 1988 season forced women’s tennis to rewrite its own rules. As Graf dominates on court, her father clashes with WITA over controversial ranking changes, sparking a behind-the-scenes power struggle. The tour, long hungry for a new star, suddenly isn’t sure what to do with a champion this unstoppable—and wonders who, if anyone, can challenge her. Meanwhile, the next answer is already on the horizon: Monica Seles.
